NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 ‘Blackwell’ Launch Lineup to Include Four Gaming GPUs in Early 2025

NVIDIA has already announced the plan to reveal the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070, as said by Benchlife sometime after the top-end RTX 5090 and 5080. These flagship GPUs will probably be announced at CES 2025, with the enthusiast-grade cards representing the main course for desktop gamers.

According to the new report, the RTX 5070 Ti and 5070 follow suit in February 2025, which goes against previous words that we wouldn’t see an RTX 5070 Ti at all during Q1 of that year. Indicates that Nvidia will release all four models within the same quarter.

Four months later, NVIDIA will supposedly turn to its 60-class GPUs, which could arrive in May 2025 with the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060. Still, the specifics are largely speculative as few credible outlets have corroborated this timeline. The slower models were likely to have harder specifications and may even be revealed at the time of launch.

The RTX 5070 Ti is rumored to be the series’ third-fastest GPU, featuring 8,960 CUDA cores, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, and a 300W TGP. Interestingly, one of NVIDIA’s AIB partners has reportedly indicated the TGP could go as high as 350W. Meanwhile, the RTX 5070 is expected to offer a 250W TGP, 6,400 CUDA cores, and 12 GB of GDDR7 VRAM. Information on the RTX 5060 Ti and 5060 remains scarce, but updates are anticipated as more leaks emerge. Stay tuned for further details about the specifications and launch plans for these GPUs.
